    Well played, that's a great return in a week at this level. I'd be very happy with that.  I haven't played much this week because of work commitments, but have made a modest profit when I have (about £15 I think, will work it out on Sunday).

    Thank you! I am retired so in between dog walking and watching big bang theory I can play! At the moment just 2 or 3 hours in the afternoon is my limit.

    Stayed up late tonight and lost £5.18 as a result! Unlucky in quite a few pots (set under another set three times) and Aces vs Kings and KQ allin and K flop! 

    So Running total: +£70.32

    Good going this week - well done. Of course running my under-repped aces into your quad 4's must have helped!

    Not played much since returning from a golf trip to Turkey, but turned a £10.40 win tonight despite the above. Probably not going to be playing as much for a while as I am starting to renew the kitchen - well she has been waiting for about 3 years! Work has gone a bit quiet so an ideal opportunity to get it done now the warmer weather is here.

    haven't posted in a while good to see thread is still going.
    what's happened - well last month was a losing one. only my second since i started keeping records about 18 months ago. only about 3-4 BIs so not much. still struggling to have the inclination to get the hours in and that, i think, is effecting my play. things i did naturally before i have stopped doing or forget to do and it is costing me. i have re-plugged some but other leaks have appeared.
    started the new month last night but was interrupted when i got a call from the scout camp my son is at to say he'd been sick. so went to get him abot 11pm. started again when back and was up a couple of BIs which then i proceeded to lose (KK v 52 - flop 552! was a good one). ended with a small loss which is annoying. should have quit ahead (one of those leaks) to start building up the confidence.
    son back at the scout camp now. think the beig sick was first time/first night nerves/excitement. on stand by now though which means no drink for the whole bank holiday weekend :(((

    good luck, hope to play tonight

    forgot to ask
    thinking of doing some tournies as a change and to learn
    any good low stakes ones on here?
    seems to be a lot of bounty hunter ones. was hoping for more "normal" ones

    cheers

    PPS! Also in reference to my other pos - could my losses be due to the fact i actually consdiered withdrawing some of my br to bank some profit ??? conspiracy theorists would say yes! where's my tin hat i say ;)

    I played a few hours today and made £22.08 which takes my weekly...

    Running total: +£92.40

    Thought overall I played well with a few iffy calls. Anyone want to challenge me for a week starting tomorrow? :)

    I remember that hand. I actually thought you may have a set on the flop too so the 4 on the turn made my heart jump a bit!

    Stfc, not after a challenge, but I might be running you close.

    As it stands up £80odd for the month so far.

    Race ya!

    Nice going, I'm nearly at my 5p/10p target but I'll probably do one more week at 2p/4p if you want to stick up your results? Doesn't have to be competitive - I find it helps me with motivation.

    Boom, bring back the challenge!

    Hey everyone, been a while since this thread was used so Jesus style, it's getting resurrected.

    I've stopped posting results regularaly "in a journey", so i am going to start using this thread to show results from cash only. If anyone else wants to fire up results as well, please do!

    I've been pretty bad at tracking results, despite 2 good spread sheets been sent over by 2 forum regs, so my friends this is a spread sheet for the next wee while. I am going to be playing steady consistant and a bit cautious for the time being! Making mad moves and being loose are gone from my game for the time being. Cant beat a bit of free information.

    Session 1, June 13th 45 Minutes

    Nothing really amazing happened, i was card dead for a lot of the time, tried to go for max value when i had a hand. Didn't have one flush/ straight/ or set, but managed to eek out a small profit of £1.63

    2nd Session

    Played well overall. A couple of spots where i called donk bets on the river when the flush got there, and i had the feeling i was beat, but still made the call with 2 pair. Maybe a bit of a leak. In saying that they were not overly big bets, so maybe there is an argument for calling.

    Over all i ended up down about £4.

    One of the last hands (below) was the difference between a profit and a loss from the session. Quite happy with how i played it. HAd a read on opponent, was pretty sure he had a flush draw, which he did, the turn gave him a pair, and river 2 pair. He called a massive pre flop bet with J2!

    ''Over all i ended up down about £4''.

    Me confused. Are you up? Down? Left? Right?

    J2 ftw.

    lol session 2 i was down, £4.21

    Session 3 (about an hour) profit of £2.02

    Over total, - 0.56 (to date)

    Really weird started every session down, then went onto win a bit. Often find that's the case lose a bit first 10 minutes, then it picks up.

    Played quite well over all today, 4 tabling quite comfortable, made some mistakes, but overall was getting value when i had hands. Overall, didn't run to good, but not terrible either.

    This hand here, quite a difficult one, the full house got there as did the flush, but i still bet out with my straight on the river. Prob a raise fold if re raised. (Edit, just seen it was min raised pre, so yeah i know a fold!)
